Olivier Coste Rare Carignan Blanc 2025
£12.75
The wine
A wonderfully fresh and aromatic expression of this rare grape variety. Floral and fruity aromas lead to a crisp, fresh palate where the vibrant citrus fruit is layered with hints of almond and flinty minerality. Carignan Blanc is genuinely rare, which is where the wine gets its name. Barely a few hundred hectares survive worldwide, most of them in the Languedoc.
The producer
Olivier Coste
View all Olivier Coste winesOlivier Coste grew up playing in the vineyards and cellar of his family estate, founded at Pezenas in 1701. That upbringing left him with a lasting attachment to the Languedoc and to the wines of southern France.
The vineyards lie a few kilometres from Pezenas, close enough that the Mediterranean shapes the growing season. The estate is HVE Level 3 certified and carbon neutral, keeping emissions to a minimum and offsetting the remainder through ecological projects, with solar installations extending the commitment further.
The Solis Lumen range takes its name from the light of the sun, a nod to the sea, sun and wind that shape these wines. The Stars range is aimed at drinkers who want something modern, fresh and fruit-driven.
